Are old radiators worth hanging on to?

[singleton]

I have two old leaky radiators removed from cars which I have broken over the years, are they worth keeping or should I just scrap them? Do you get a service exchange on them when purchasing replacement? are they worth recoiling? Im just trying to sort through my vast amount of spares to make a bit of room, and believe me I have a lot of spares, engines/gearboxes/axles/panels etc etc.....

Just dump them if leaking.

agree with bmce. these days with new ones in production its pointless, unless you know someone who re-cores for a drink? I paid 30pound for a recore last year but with time and petrol, it was not really worth it.

They are in the scrap pile then, think will get rid of some glass aswell because got about 3 sets of spares!

If they are Minor ones & the header tanks are ok I would keep them as they would be handy for exchange or a recore. I was glad of my last (leaky)spare after the one in the car got crushed beyond repair in an accident last year & needed a good base unit for a recore


If its off something modern with plastic tanks I wouldn't bother

Just a thought - Before dumping them put them in the free section as someone might want a 2nd radiator to send for re-conditioning to avoid taking their Minor of the road.
